Description
The critically acclaimed singer and songwriter Hannah Svensson releases a new album - this time in the spirit of Christmas - in the company of a group of eminent Jazz musicians. Klas Lindqvist, who is considered one of the country's most prominent saxophonists; Sven-Erik Lundeqvist, one of the new generation's most personal and listenable pianists; the outstanding Swedish double bass player Mattias Svensson and the brilliant drummer Paul Svanberg.The album 'Snowflakes in December' whose title track is a newly composed song by Hannah, apart from this original, consists of classic Christmas songs in several new arrangements - completely in sync with the works of history. With an exuberant interplay and joy of playing, the group performs both new and traditional Christmas jazz in its own and exciting way.
'My music grows in a borderland between the american Jazz history and Nordic tones. Here, with humility and curiosity, I can manage the legacy of my great inspirations in Jazz. This album is a tribute to some of the songs I grew up with in December, year after year. Songs I've laughed to, cried to and have great memories of. It is also a journey through different emotional states that I have experience when December, once again, has knocked on the door.'
